very cool. racing trikes have a large following in the UK, rarely see them here.
From what I understand riding them is completely counter-intuitive (see photo 1)
requiring completely different weighting on turns.
Classic Rendezvous list recently had a discussion about them with someone posting
a link to a youtube video of a downhill ride in Colorado.

Wasn't that essentially what all of us did when we took up bike racing in the first place?

Exactly. Hardly anyone knows about bike racing and there's only 63,000 racers licensed through USA Cycling. Pretty clear none of the folks racing have any real athletic talent or have succeeded in other sports.
